Oh, and because I forgot to point you at them last night, a few references to help you get your new pages right on the first try:

When you're ready to create your new pages, use the ATT Page Creator, which you can reach either through that link or as the first item under "Troping Utilities" in the menu that runs along the left edge of every page in most skins. It will set you up in editor that is prepopulated with a skeleton page that has all the markup that's required to integrate a new page stylistically and functionally with the rest of the wiki. You'll need to use the third prompt to make a creator page; that'll put you in an empty editor with a "Select boilerplate" dropdown, and you'll need to select "Creators page" from the dropdown and click "load" to get the right template.

And in case you glossed over it in the top-of-page system message, until you establish your bonafides with the wiki -- anywhere from a couple weeks to a few months depending on your contribution rate, your edits go into a moderation queue where they need to get approved by one of the admins before they're applied to the wiki. This is because we had (and continue to have) problems with spammers and vandals, and Moderation stops them cold.
